"Now let's practice some gambling!" I whisper, smiling. Gwen explains what's going on to them, and we start gambling for nothing. Eventually, I got the hang of it and started winning every round. "Your a natural YN. Hopefully you can get his attention." Nathan says. "Thanks. Hopefully someone can go with me." I sigh. The lights turn on and everyone wakes up. "Gah! Where's YN?! Who took her?!" Adri says, panicking. "She's gambling with us Adri! She's fine!" Gwen shouts. "Why are you guys gambling?" Sean asks. "Because it's our next challenge. I was practicing in case I get shoved into the gambling mix. The entrance to a casino is over there. We need to get King Dice to notice the gambler on his own, and attempt to set up a one on one. The second he asks, we leave, got it?" I say. "Yes ma'am." Everyone says. "Alright, let's head over." I say, we walk toward the entrance and the guy at the door instantly stops us. "Only two if you can come in. Dice will decide." He says, his voice raspy. He calls King Dice down, and the tall dice man comes out. "Ah. Look at what we have here. Let's see. You there. Yes you, your coming in." He says, pointing at Nathan. We make eye contact for a moment, then he grins. "And you. Your coming in with your friend here. The rest of you scram." He says, grabbing both if our wrists and dragging us in. "Let's find a table. Your going to gamble right?" Nathan asks. "Yeah. Stick with me though, okay? I don't want to be alone in this place." I say. "Wouldn't have it any other way." He says, smiling. As we walk around, we get a couple wolf whistles, and I'm not sure who their directed at. A... Cigar creature of some sort comes up to me. "Hey pretty lady. How about I buy you a drink." He says, winking. "Sir, she has a boyfriend." Nathan intervenes. Wait... No I don't. What is he doing? "Oh yeah? Who is it?" The cigar coughs out. "Me. So leave her alone." Nathan says. "Why don't you prove it?" He asks. I bet you anything this cigar's drunk. Wait, no I don't. I don't have anything to bet! Nate brings me into a kiss and I melt into it. The cigar walks away, and I find a table with an open spot. Dice Gambling. I walk over. "Mind if a play with you?" I ask. "Go ahead and have a seat. This your boyfriend?" The guy hosting the table asks. "Sure is." I answer. "You got lucky there sweetheart. He a good-looking man. What's your name? Need to know if you want to play." He says. "YN." I say as we both blush a bit. He deals me in, and I feel someone staring at me. After a few minutes, I finally win the gamble. "Nice job. Want to join the next round?" He asks. "Sure do." I respond. "How 'bout the boyfriend. You want to play?" He asks, looking at Nathan. "I'll give it a shot. I'm not much of a gambler." He says, sitting down. I turn around, and see the Devil and King Dice talking, while glancing at me. I focus my attention to the game. I get a pat on the shoulder by a waitress and she hands me a red wine. "It's on the house sweetheart." She says, then walks away. I glance at Nathan. "It's rude not to drink it if it's in the house. I'll make sure it stays at one glass." He says. I take a small sip, and place it beside me. "Listen, I can feel them staring at me. I'm a bit worried." I say, feeling a pit in my stomach. "It's fine. Just don't make the deal." He whispers. I sigh and take another small sip of the wine. We play five rounds, and I win each round. I finish up the small glass of wine that was given to me. "I'm not going to get drunk." I say, trying to calm my mind down. King Dice talks to the guy leading our table, glancing at me every so often. "You there. With the (hair color) hair. How would you like a one on one gamble? If you win, you get all the riches in the casino. If I win, I sell your soul to the Devil. We got a deal?" He asks, holding out some dice. "Listen, King Dice, I really must be going. It was nice playing, but I do not except your deal. You keep your riches, and I keep my soul. Have a good night." I say, standing up. "If you're sure then. Have a good night YN." He says. "Wait. I didn't tell you my name." I realize, staring at him. "But, you told him. Hope to see you soon. Perhaps without the boyfriend?" He says, smirking. "Perhaps. See ya." I say, and walk out with Nathan. When we get out, the Casino dissapears. "YN! Nathan! What happened?!" AJ asks from the ring of people in the center. "Well, YN win six games in a row, and I had to pretend I was her boyfriend so people would stop messing with us." Nathan says. "I refused his deal, and I was shocked that everyone acted so normal. You know with the Mugman thing." I finish. We all have a short conversation, but then I leave, saying "Listen, I just did some gambling, and I'm tired. I'm going to rest a bit." I say, backing away slowly then running off. I hear footsteps run after me, and I look up to see King Dice. "What are you doing here?! I thought you went away with the Casino." I stutter. "Well I couldn't let my shining star leave without signing her contract." He says, handing me a pen and a paper. "I'm not signing this. I didn't agree to your gamble." I say, ripping it in half. He vanishes the second I rip it. I bring my knees to my chest, and bury my face into them. I let tears fall, knowing that I probably am the cause of the death of Mugs. "YN? What's wrong?" I hear someone ask. I look up and see the whole gangs there. All sixteen of them. "I just feel bad about Mugs. If he's dead, it's most likely my fault, and if he isn't, he probably hates me like you do." I say, hiccuping. "You sure she ain't drunk? Who put that thought in your head YN?" Gwen asks. "I did." I confess. "Well we don't. And to prove that to you, GROUP HUG!!!" She says. I get squished by everyone, and someone even gives me a kiss on my forehead. I smile, and I fall asleep in their grasp.
